Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 505 - 494: Assault, Half-Demon Zhao Ruyue

In the dark corner, there was a chilling atmosphere, which, as the breeze brushed past, caused one’s heart to tremble.

The chilling atmosphere grew more intense as the weather gradually cooled.

When the half-demon woman uttered these words, the remaining group of half-demons immediately bowed their heads.

"As you command."

Only then did the half-demon woman slowly rise, looking at the gradually darkening night sky, with an increasingly cold smirk at the corner of her mouth.

Her name was Zhao Ruyue, and she was a half-demon.

She no longer remembered who her biological parents were.

Shortly after her birth, her biological parents were beheaded for violating the laws of humans and the demon race.

Thanks to the protection of another half-demon, she grew up while wandering incessantly.

Growing up, she witnessed much filth and knew how perilous it was for half-demons to survive in this world.

Some half-demons didn’t even live to adulthood before being caught.

Their skin would be made into lanterns, flesh treated as nourishment, bones crafted into weapons, even their soul would be extracted and cruelly refined as offerings.

Before these things even occurred, if a half-demon were female, she would endure the torment of dual cultivation. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Half-demons lived extremely miserable lives on this Tianyun Path, sometimes even worse than street rats.

Among half-demons, there was an alliance known as the Half-Demon Alliance, barely surviving on this Tianyun Path.

This time, Zhao Ruyue led the Half-Demon Alliance’s mission here.

The Black Market’s continuous trafficking of half-demons caused heavy losses for the Half-Demon Alliance, and Zhao Ruyue entered the Black Market undercover, gathering information about the trafficking to completely destroy these sources.

She knew very well that without trade, there would be no killings.

Therefore, only by destroying the source of the Black Market would there be fewer hunters of half-demons.

Last night, she was taken back to a room by that fat cultivator.

The fat cultivator impatiently wanted to rob her of her purity.

Unexpectedly, she had a Secret Technique, unlocked the chain on her neck, and first killed the fat cultivator.

After killing him, she extracted some information.

In this Black Market, nearly half of the shops were searching for traces of half-demons.

Not only were humans involved, but also demonic pseudo-gods.

And this time, she plans to carry out a tremendous revenge on the Black Market.

Zhao Ruyue withdrew her gaze, turned, and looked at a half-demon with a beast tail, and asked, "Have the clansmen infiltrated the Black Market?"

The half-demon quickly raised his head, "Over a hundred half-demons have entered the Black Market in disguise, posing as cultivators, just waiting for your command to create a storm of bloodshed."

"But before that, we seem to have discovered something incredible."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruyue’s brow furrowed deeper.

"Tell me, what is this incredible thing."

The half-demon paused slightly before speaking, "On our way here, we noticed that the people in the Black Market seemed to have increased, and some appeared to have sneaked into this Black Market in disguise, but we do not know their exact identities."

Zhao Ruyue blandly said, "There is still some time before the bloodbath of the Black Market. During this period, try to find out their identities. If they pose no threat, ignore them. If they obstruct us, then kill them along with the others."

The half-demon immediately obeyed.

Zhao Ruyue continued, "Hu Yan’Er of the Fox Race is surely searching for my whereabouts now, I need to find a place to hide."

The half-demon asked, "Do you have a place to hide, Leader?"

Zhao Ruyue sneered, "The safest place is the most dangerous place, the inn near the auction pavilion is home only to the wealthy and influential, even the people from the auction pavilion dare not intrude recklessly."

"I will hide in that inn, just need to find a family, subdue them, threaten them not to reveal my identity, naturally have a way to evade Hu Yan’Er’s pursuit."

Upon hearing these words, the half-demon anxiously replied, "But Leader, if that’s the case, should any mishap occur, the auction pavilion people will rush there quickly, if they detain you, it will be hard for us to rescue you."

Zhao Ruyue waved her hand, "Do not worry, I have my methods for doing this, rest assured, even if Hu Yan’Er truly wants to investigate the inn, I have means to escape, after all, I am a product of a union between a human and the Spirit Cat Race, possessing the Spirit Cat’s techniques of concealment and agility, more adept at dodging than all of you."

Upon hearing Zhao Ruyue’s words, the half-demon wanted to persuade her further but knowing Zhao Ruyue’s mind was set, kept silent.

Zhao Ruyue did not say more, then quietly left this dark place.

The remaining half-demons exchanged glances and retreated one after another.

According to Zhao Ruyue’s words, they began to set up the following matters.

...

Time slowly passed, and before long, the next day arrived.

As the morning sun shone through the hazy mist, illuminating the entire Black Valley, the Black Market within it became bright and clear.

Even the original gloom seemed clearer.

After settling overnight, the Black Market revived once more.

Many people moved around in the Black Market.

Either lingering in the shops or trading privately.

The entire Black Market, like a marketplace hidden in the shadows, began its day of trade.

Qin An got up early, looked at Zheng Rou, who was sleeping in another bed, shook his head slightly, then planned to go out for breakfast.

At this moment, Zheng Rou suddenly woke up alertly.

Upon seeing it was Qin An, she slightly eased her tension.

"You are quite alert," Qin An said, "Come on, let’s go out and eat something before we continue."

Even if there was a task to do, a full meal was necessary.

Qin An was not planning to go on the final bloodbath mission on an empty stomach.

Zheng Rou hesitated slightly but nodded, "Alright, wait for me a bit."

After a quick freshening up in the partition, she left the inn together with Qin An.

Outside the inn, the two had a simple meal on the street.

Zheng Rou grew increasingly curious about Qin An, and couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Qin, were you always this leisurely when you went out previously?"

The words carried another layer of meaning, asking whether Qin An was always this relaxed when undertaking tasks before.

Qin An responded, "You’ve never encountered it before?"

Zheng Rou thought carefully and nodded, "I haven’t been with anyone before, but my father once said that every time he went out, he was very nervous, and those who went with him were too."

"Every time the atmosphere was very heavy. Like Mr. Qin, there are very few who have the leisure to come out for a meal."

Zheng Rou spoke these words from the heart.

After all, in his mind, such tasks issued by the Silver Dao Marshal are very daunting.

Under such a task, Qin An can be so leisurely, simply astonishingly god-like.

Qin An, after a brief thought, shook his head and said, "No matter when, one must be full; only when you’re full do you have the strength to work. You know, pressure is a very strange thing."

Zheng Rou asked in confusion, "Pressure... how is it strange?"

After a brief thought, Qin An said, "Sometimes when people are under a lot of pressure, they don’t like to eat, sleep, or do the things they originally should do."

"I think this is a very wrong thing."

Zheng Rou asked again, "Then how should it be done correctly?"

Qin An smiled slightly, "The correct way is to eat well, do what you love, and then sleep soundly at night."

"Only in this way can you ensure you have enough energy to deal with the enormous pressure. After all, if under pressure you can’t eat or sleep, you’ll just become increasingly decadent under the weight of pressure."

Zheng Rou thought carefully about what Qin An said, then nodded in strong agreement, "When my father passed away, I couldn’t eat or sleep well, and I became more and more haggard until one day I figured it out, ate, and slept, and then slowly got better."

"Difficult things will always pass; no one is always in difficulty," Qin An said with a smile, "Alright, I’m done eating; you take your time."

He put down his chopsticks, leaned back in his chair, and looked at everything in the black market with interest.

Hearing what Qin An just said, Zheng Rou also started to eat slowly like Qin An.

She learned to enjoy.

To enjoy such a leisurely atmosphere like Qin An.

After the two finished eating, they finally headed toward the inn.

The way back was uneventful.

When they reached the inn’s entrance, they walked up the stairs towards the inn.

Arriving at the room they stayed in at the inn, Zheng Rou was about to push the door open.

Unexpectedly, Qin An suddenly raised his hand and held Zheng Rou’s shoulder.

Zheng Rou was slightly taken aback, turned around, and looked at Qin An with puzzled eyes, not understanding what Qin An meant.

Qin An’s eyes squinted slightly, and the corners of his mouth upturned slightly.

Then, without a sound, he drew the Cold Star from his waist.

At the moment Qin An drew the Cold Star, Zheng Rou also understood Qin An’s meaning.

Even if she is naive, she has been through a lot with the Evil Extermination Bureau, naturally understanding the reason behind Qin An’s actions.

Zheng Rou raised her fair hand, holding a ribbon in her palm, ready to move.

Qin An suddenly opened the door, then executed the Nine-Turn Dragon Roar Shadow Step and stepped into the room.

Zheng Rou followed closely behind.

As soon as the two stepped in, they sensed a gust of wind coming at them.

Qin An turned his head, and upon seeing the approaching figure, his eyebrows slightly raised.

What rushed at them was a beast-ear half-demon woman.

And this woman was the one Qin An had encountered at the auction not long ago.

The woman was currently exuding an aura of Great Success of the Shattering Void Realm.

Such cultivation in this black market, where only those who can enter the Void Shattering Realm, is already considered superior.

Qin An could even see a hint of smugness on this woman’s face.

Zheng Rou was also shocked in her heart, hurriedly swinging the ribbon toward the beast-ear woman.

The ribbon, using softness to conquer hardness, seemed to engulf the beast-ear woman.

But the beast-ear woman showed a hint of disdain.

Zhao Ruyue had been in this room for a long time. After arriving at the inn, she found this room empty.

And traces of someone having lived here.

She then hid in place, waiting for the occupants to return.

Now she only needed to subdue these two, then the inn could serve as her hideout.

When the two pushed the door in, she felt more confident.

Because both of them are only at the initial level of the Void Shattering Realm, while she, at the Great Success of the Shattering Void Realm, could easily crush them.

Perhaps with just a few breaths, she could subdue them.

Seeing the ribbon sweeping over, Zhao Ruyue casually waved her hand, sending the ribbon flying.

Her figure remained undeterred, continuing to charge toward the young man.

As long as she captured the man, the woman would fall into her hands too, so she wasn’t in a hurry.

The smugness on Zhao Ruyue’s face grew larger.

She seemed to have pictured the scene of the opponent kneeling and begging for mercy under her hands.

But before she approached, the young man suddenly swung his knife horizontally in front of him.

A swirl of Nine-Colored Void Essence enveloped the straight blade.

This slash seemed faintly to carry the power of the Three Blades Unite.

Zhao Ruyue only felt her attack land on an impenetrable wall.

The nine-colored void essence seemed to be unstoppable, and in an instant, her figure was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Zhao Ruyue spat blood, already seriously injured.

As she prepared to struggle to get back up, she felt a chill on her neck.

Next, she heard a voice that sent shivers down her spine.

The voice, as calm as water, exuded an overwhelming cold murderous intent.

"Name, origin, and your purpose. If you speak slowly for a second, then you’ll see a headless corpse rolling to the ground."
